That Sinking Feeling

How far has the Christian Right swung when they can't seem to agree on their ideal presidential candidate, or whether they even have one?
“There is great anxiety,” said Paul Weyrich, chairman of the Free Congress Foundation. “There is no outstanding conservative, and they are all looking for that.”

Just how bitter and mean-spirited does a conservative have to be to win them over and be considered "outstanding?"

Giuliani is too pro-gay rights, not hostile enough on the abortion issue, and most importantly, has been married too many times. Brownback is deemed too wetback-friendly. Huckabee is viewed with suspicion on the issue of tax cuts. Romney is simply not Christian enough and his great-grandfather had too many wives. And McCain is just... McCain -- like an out-of-control 18-wheeler on a long downhill run.

Will a genuine gay-bashing, abortion-outlawing, warmongering, Constitution-shredding, tax-cutter-for-the-rich, photogenic, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white male Bible-thumping Christian from a pre-approved mainstream denomination with one beautiful wife and 2.5 adorable clean-cut children please step forward so these lunatics will stop all the unnecessary gnashing of teeth?

Because the ones currently running just don't seem to have enough hateful anger.
